The Relationship Between Borges and Henry James

Borges once said, quote, I have visited some literatures of the East and West. Borges talked about his debt to Henry James numerous times. He seemed to think that people misunderstood James, especially in the short stories. The whole world of Kafka is to be found in a far more complex way in the stories of Henry James. Both thought of the world as being at the same time complex and meaningless.
